Solution:

To comply with increasing low carbon environmental legislation, building owners and tenants are presented with a problem. They need to be able to measure HVAC system performance in an accurate, easy and continuous way. They also need access to reliable data that will help reduce energy and maintenance costs and extend the life of the system.

Typically, HVAC monitoring involves manual measurement, and the data is captured locally, so fails to give a picture of overall system performance.

IMI Hydronic’s TA-Smart valve, a highly accurate balancing and control valve, has integrated measurement capabilities enabling continuous logging of key circuit parameters: flow, temperature and power. Fully compatible with all control systems, TA-Smart’s advanced built-in technology enables the valve to be configured digitally via a smartphone, making system set-up and adjustment easy and convenient. This technology also allows access to the data captured by the valve, making it very easy for building owners to monitor their complete systems.

TA-Smart was developed by the IMI Hydronic R&D teams collaborating across Slovenia, Sweden and Belgium.
